Beautiful card Maxine, I love the flower and colour so delicate. Love the butterfly. Thanks for joining our challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and hope to see you again soon. Jennifer DT member xx

Maxine, this flower is such a beauty and your whole card is a work of art. It will be very comforting in it's beauty. Thank you so much for taking time to post your very creative art with us this week at Word Art Wednesday, on our 194th challenge. Blessings and Hugs, Carole

Lovely flower image and super coloring with the chalks. Very soft & great shading. Glad to see another WoS addict. The glimmer looks great in your close up photos. There's also Wink of Luna which looks stunning too, but is opaque. Looks like enamel when you use it with a gold outline sticker on black (or dark) cardstock. Just doing my bit to enable. Great card - glad to see you are able to craft again. TFS & Hugs

This is perfect for our stamp and die challenge, Maxine! The flower and butterflies are simply beautiful. I really like the soft effect of the chalks. Thank you for sharing your lovely card with us at Stamping Sensations.

Once again the thumbnail of your card jumped out at me from my readers list. What a beautiful dahlia. It is so nice to sea pretty Sympathy card. I love the effect of using chalks. I never think to get mine out. Sorry I have missed quite a few posts lately. I´m just trying to get used to the heat again, and finding my mojo after a couple of weeks away. Kate xx

Such a great card with lovely embellishments and awesome fancy-cut flower. So glad you joined us at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with an awesome inspiration from the Scripture in Hebrews 3:6 and it says, "But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast." Have an awesome week.

What a beautiful card Maxine and I love that flower! The butterflies are so pretty and a perfect add to this card. For obvious reasons, sympathy cards are difficult to do but you did a grand job on this. I also use the Truffle ink... in fact, I stopped using the black for stamping images and always use Espresso Truffle because it isn't as harsh as the black.
